A Software Platform for Fractionated Spacecraft
Author
Keywords
Abstract

A fractionated spacecraft is a cluster of independent
modules that interact wirelessly to maintain cluster flight and
realize the functions usually performed by a monolithic satellite.
This spacecraft architecture poses novel software challenges
because the hardware platform is inherently distributed, with
highly fluctuating connectivity among the modules. It is critical
for mission success to support autonomous fault management
and to satisfy real-time performance requirements. It is also
